On the 20th of May, 1800, Colonel Pickering wrote to him as follows :P hiladelphia. Dear Sir, You will have seen that I am no longer a public officer. No special reason for my removal has been assigned ;nor have I inquired for any. It will do me no harm, though it occasions a temporary embarrassment. Having expended my salary, as it became due, I have nothing on hand. This obliges me to withdraw my son from your school. You will have the goodness to settle my account to the day William can get a passage in the stage, pay yourself out of the money in your hands, and give the residue to him. In my letter by William I mentioned an error in your statement of ten shillings against yourself; so the balance, then in your hands, was i 15 5s. 9d., instead of 15 158. 9i. I wish William to get home by next Tuesday, if convenient, and pray you to take the trouble to see that he brings with him all his books and clothes.. I shall set off to-morrow morning for the counVOL. IV.
